Never programmed for the DC before? There's #raylib support via 'RaylibDC' if you know C, or a cool looking lua game engine https://antiruins.com/engine

I don't normally ask for boosts, but I have just LEAPED out of my comfort zone and set up my own gamejam, specifically for users of the Fediverse, and I'm scared shitless that nobody else will join, turning this into one giant embarrassment for me.

So if you want to do me a giant favor, please boost (and even better: join!) this: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@fedi_jam/113035512940511485 PLEASE! 🥺 🙏

Hello everyone! 👋 The FediJam is the world's first (?) game jam exclusively for users of the Fediverse. During September, team up with others and... CREATE - A - GAME! Analog or digital, using whatever (non-AI) tools you feel comfortable with.

➡️ Join now: https://itch.io/jam/fedi-jam

Boosts VERY appreciated! ❤️ Spread the word!!!

I built possibly the earliest same-tab tool for getting AI image descriptions in Aug 2022, using a then newly updated Microsoft AI API. I listened to Disabled folks about it. I've payed close attention to the subject since.

My criticisms of @mozilla plans for Firefox built in AI alt text generation aren't because of knee-jerk AI hatred or some ignorance. They are because I understand this to a breadth and depth extremely rare and I want acknowledgement of major issues being ignored 🧵…

Boost? 💜

Wikipedia deletionists reached for LUnix.

It doesn't matter that this was an important technical feat - to my knowledge the first TCP/IP stack for C64/128 - true 8 bit networking before Contiki, before Wimodems. Recently it was even ported to NES.

If this Schützenpanzer person has nothing better to do and thinks that this article occupies so much of their precious disk space, so be it. A piece of digital history will be lost.

I got wondering how much work it would be to compile s-expressions to #uxn, it turns out, not a lot.

As a test, I've only implemented `let`, but it's shockingly easy to map lisp-like syntax to the uxn assembly, I might push this further still.

We investigated performance degradation due to excessive crawling of Codeberg.

We often trace back such things to company websites that proudly list their key investors - but don't actually explain what they are doing (or why they need to crawl Codeberg more excessively than the crawlers of the major search engines combined).

It's probably not a use case we believe in anyway, so we blocked several large IP ranges today.
